Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (R) reaches his hand towards U.S. Forces Japan commander Lieutenant General Jerry P. Martinez (L) while U.S. Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy (C) looks on during a joint announcement of the return of U.S. military land on the island of Okinawa on Dec. 21, 2016, at Abe's official residence in Tokyo . The deal, hailed the biggest return of American military land on Okinawa in more than four decades, covers about 4,000 hectares (9,900 acres) of the 7,500-hectare Camp Gonsalves jungle warfare training centre, also known as the Northern Training Area.

The United States is returning over 9,000 acres of land on Okinawa to the Japanese government, acreage it has held since the conclusion of World War II.
The move is the largest return of land since 1972 and comes amid long-standing controversy over the U.S. military presence on the southern Japanese island, heightened by a string of crimes that includes the murder of a 20-year-old Japanese woman earlier this year. A former U.S. Marine was arrested and charged in the case.
